Hmmm... There's a flagpole. I wonder, let me run this idea up it... Jeff Zeitlin 21 Jul 2018 00:47 UTC
I'm sure many of us are fantasy fans, if perhaps less so than SF or Space Opera. I'm equally sure that many of us have read at least part of the Thieves' World series, and know the genesis of that project. So... Suppose I were to propose a similar project for Freelance Traveller: You come up with a character, and you write stories. After other characters appear, you can use them in your stories, but you can't kill them (unless you own the character) or do permanent physical damage (unless the character's owner allows). More-or-less everything would happen in a city, general TL of 8 (no grav control), but commo, medicine, and computers can be as high as TL10. The city is the "port city/startown" of a downport that handles mostly ship's boats or modular cutters coming down from skyside, with perhaps the occasional scout/courier (Type S) or free trader (Beowulf or Marava). 1. Who would be interested in participating (and willing to commit the time to actually write)? 2. How well should the city be defined before getting started? 3. Would people be interested in _reading_ this? ®Traveller is a registered trademark of Far Future Enterprises, 1977-2018.
